One of Those Days

One of those days...you know the kind I mean, where nothing goes right, nothing goes according to plan, it feels like your world is cracking and falling apart.  I have had a couple of those in a row now.

Every thing looks fine:


And then a sudden ROAR of wind and the flower baskets went crashing and the chairs went sliding across the deck.  It only lasted a minute and then the rain came.  That's how it goes sometimes.

  1. Gee, that's awful. But, you are right, life is like that.
    Beautiful flowers and scenery, though.

  2. I know those kinds of days -- you just want to scream! I absolutely love your view from the deck -- it's gorgeous. And you reminded me that we have to get our hanging baskets up!

  3. Well, not being unsympathetic, but this is the least of things that could have gone wrong on this day. You have a lovely deck with a really lovely view.

    1. Oh, it was the least of things, believe me. It was just the symbolic thing for me.

  4. They usually come in threes. Be prepared.
    Love your yard and at least you got it mowed before the rain.

  5. What a lovely view you have! The flowers are icing on the cake. Sometimes the cake falls.

  6. Two weeks ago my daughter's family was staying here between moves. My son-in-law was in the shop outside when we all heard a very loud boom. He came running out and said he felt a quake. I thought it was noise from the rock quarry nearby, but returning to my house I found all the items on my bedroom dresser had crashed into the floor. Lamp, perfume bottles, statues, dollies, etc. Still we never heard any reports of an earthquake.

  7. Life is cyclical, or at least our attention to it is. Highs and lows. This week has been a rough patch for you no doubt, but think back when you wrecked your bike. Ultra concentrated crappy day there...cops, tickets, ERs, insurance, pain, bruises, wrecked bike.

    Perhaps you had too much fun with your grandson last weekend, the Universe is extracting some payment. Next week will be neutral.

  10. Oh yes that is so true Olga. I recently lost my mom and now other family members are in hospital. Seems everything all at once. I love your view and hope your week gets better.
    When things are down they only have one way to go - up!

  11. Your deck and your view really is wonderful and I'm sure it helps but some days (weeks) things just don't go right. I hope they are lots better by now. I think the planets must have been in a strange arrangement the last few days because it has been difficult for a lot of people I know. Do hope it is better.

  12. Wow! You have such a beautiful view. I love seeing all that glorious emerald green. We often get those sudden showers too. On the other hand, we don't get those thunderstorms very often though.

 On September 29, I had the closing on my condo. Everything that was not going to the buyers was out and packed in the ABF moving truck which had by the been taken over to the storage units. Don thought it would take him until Wednesday to finish packing the truck with the help of his son. It took him until late Thursday with Chris' help and mine. Kevin was supposed to help load as well but he was in a mountain bike accident and wrecked his shoulder the week before. That added driving him to doctor appointments to my to do list and dong some shopping for him plus jobs around the house that might need two functioning upper limbs.  We stayed with Kevin on Friday night after the closing and then had a suite in an extended stay place for the coming week. This was the worst possible time to have to get a room because the prices balloon during leaf peeping season if you can even find a room at all. But it was close to the storage units where we were working and it was dog friendly. We ju

Wedding

 Don and I drove to South Carolina to attend the wedding of my step-grandson, Will. Will Will and Katie The wedding took place on Dataw Island, a beautiful outdoor ceremony followed by a reception in the country club. We stayed in a tiny cottage in the historic center of Beaufort, rented from Vrbo. Since the wedding was at 5 p.m., we had time to explore the area a bit. I really like the low country scenery and historical charm. Sitting quietly in the curtained gazebo I was visited by multiple cardinals. They came to visit the feeder, not me, but I can always pretend! How I will always remember Will!

Rest In Peace

 In a summer that has been so wet, Sunday was a reprieve. The humidity dropped and the sun came out. It was a day that could have been special ordered by the family of a friend's husband. It was the day they had arranged his celebration of life ceremony set on the shore of Lake Champlain. I was not looking forward to the gathering, even couched as a celebration. This is a family fraught with relationship tensions. It turned out to be a beautiful day and a beautiful ceremony. A Catholic priest gave a brief but meaningful homily and two Air Force members played "Taps" and presented the American flag to my friend. I am not a Christian, but I do know about Christ Consciousness. That priest's word's filled me with such a sense of peace and love. I hope it did the same for the family members and neighbors who attended.
